When a board-topper like Kalen King slides to pick No. 193, you do not overthink it, and the Eagles did not. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 22 they get an island corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Worthy at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Fair-plus on Edgerrin Cooper, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
A straight-up fair deal on Blake Fisher at the 120th pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
No drama and no debate, Hunter Nourzad went about where he belonged in slot 161. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Kitan Oladapo slipping to Round 5, Pick 35 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Steal is underselling it; Kalen King at pick No. 193 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Keith Randolph Jr. at pick 210 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
